This testimony comes from Abegail Ansela in Buhangin, Philippines: "I'm really thankful to God for what He has done through quizzing. He has revealed so many things to me. I have been challenged to study God's word every day because otherwise most of my time is spent on useless things...God has taught me to be really thankful and to appreciate the blessings that He sends to me. Quizzing has brought a lot of lessons in my life, and I know God is going to teach me more through this ministry."
